What does it mean that a vagina is raw from a yeast infection?

I went to the doctor to get treated for a yeast infection. He said the area looks raw then prescribed me Diflucan. I didn’t think about it until after I left the office, but what exactly does it mean to have a raw vagina due to a yeast infection?

Itchy vagina for almost year?

I’m almost about to loose my mind over this. Its been almost a year. I started out with really bad itching and white discharge. After a while the discharge went away but the itching did not. I went to my gyno and he told me that if looks like an infection gave me some treatment (vagina suppositories, and some medication to take orally). I ddint feel any itching while i was taking the medication but as soon as i stopped the itching returned.
I went to another doctor a couple more times she gave my diflucan and flagyl.I went to another doctor just recently and he told me that it looks like some type of fungus…..He game me Ketoconazole and flagyl…
It seemed to be working but as soon as i finished taking it i started itching. I’ve been in doctor’s office almost every month for almost a year. And still no relif…I was tested for clamidya,HIV and some other STI’s everything came back normal. What can this be?

I havent had sex since before I started itching and I dont intend to until this goes away..but what can this be?

canine valley fever?

my dog has valley fever, but the vet has very little knowledge of the disease. i had to insist on a test since they were convinced he had kennel cough and a neck injury that was causing lameness. however, my dog is a parson jack russell and weighs 25 pounds. he is currently taking diflucan 50mg twice a day; is this the right dose? he was on ketoconazole 100mg twice a day for three weeks. he was doing well and was up and moving around much better. since he went on the diflucan a few days ago his lameness and twiches has increased greatly. i increased his dose of diflucan to 100mg twice a day now…since i won’t be able to get to the vet for a few days. also, how long should his lameness continue? thanks…

Vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis) from steroids? WARNING sorry, gross!?

Hi, I was on extremely high doses of both steroids and antibiotics for asthma/sinus infection, and now I’ve been off both for about 3/7 days (off steroids for 3, off antibiotics for a week), but I’m pretty sure that what I’ve had is a yeast infection for a week or so. I was itchy down there, but now it stings, burns, is very red, and still itchy. I have my period as well, so I haven’t noticed any sort of discharge, but I’ve gotten yeast infections before without any discharge. My problem is that I’ve always taken Diflucan, which clears it up within 2 days, and when I took it 3 days ago, it started to feel better but now the feeling is back and worse than ever. It kind of stings when I urinate too (not like a UTI feeling, but it stings on the OUTSIDE). Can that all be just a very persistant yeast infection? Also, can hormones contribute to it too? My hormones have been a mess since the steroids. Thank you so much and sorry for the gross topic!

what are the signs of vaginal candidiasis(thrush) getting better?

i had this intense itch, redness n whitish-yellowish discharge a few months ago, after a few days it subsided. i hope that it would eventually go away, but after months, the whitish-slightly yellowish discharge still remains, though the itching only occurs when the discharge accumulate too much in my underwear. otherwise, minimal itching, the swelling is not there too. i think it has gotten quite mild, but i wanted it to disappear completely.

after i went to see a gynae, he told me it’s most probably vaginal candidiasis and gave me a 150mg fluconazole(diflucan) tablet. it’s been two days now since i’ve taken it. how long will it take to clear up? what are the signs that the infection is receding? (remember my infection is not so serious) and how many days should i wait before i go to see the doctor again if it does not clear up?

I’m a medical student, have a pen-torch which i use with a mirror to see into my vagina. today there are still patches of whitish mucus in my vaginal, how long will it take for it to clear up?
it just happened out of the blue, not on any contraceptives pills or anything like that. 1 150mg fluconazole tablet is supposedly enough for vaginal candiasis( written on the information paper of the tablet)

Does Diflucan cure ringworm?

I have a case of ringworm that was not responsive to over a month of treatment with Ketoconazole cream. Since the cream failed my doctor prescribed Diflucan. It has been 3 days and the spots are getting bigger, and more inflamed. How long should this take??? Shouldn’t they be getting better???

I’ve had Candidiasis for 3 years. What can I do about it now?

I’ve had Candidiasis for like 3 yrs now and I’m running out of options. I also have Leaky Gut Syndrome due to my condition. Please give me serious advice, and if you don’t know what Candidiasis is, don’t respond please. I need serious answers only. I’m scared and I feel so hopeless because normal meds like Diflucan have done nothing for me.

Is it too late? Will I just die because there’s nothing I can do?

Oral Candidiasis recently. need help just wondering about it.?

Hello, I’ve come on here for some help. I have oral candidiasis, I just recently got it. the only thing i can remember that i would have got it from is from a Z pack i took because i was sick. but instead of taking just 3 i split them up into halves and took 6 total. over 6-7 days.

I was wondering how long does oral candidiasis last? ive ate alot of yogurt and ive taken asodopholius, or whatever thats called. for normal biota.

I took a diflucan about 6-7 days ago. and im not sure if its helping yet. because there really wasnt any white patches at that point because i caught it early. right now i only have the white patches at the back of my tongue and the underside of my tongue is colored slightly white. please help?

Acid Reflux and Fungus Infection?

I have been bothered with a "lump in my throat" (feels like phlegm) since last April. I’ve had a barium swallow, tonsilectomy, sinus surgery, etc. The barium swallow proved negative for AR. I went to a different ENT and he said I have a fungus in my throat. I was on Diflucan for 4 weeks. I go back to the doctor next week to get checked. The feeling is back (although it never completely went away.) I’ve been to internal medicine, GI, and 2 ENT’s. At times it feels like my throat swells up–and it seems like maybe it’s after I eat certain things like peanuts/peanut butter, chocolate, or cheese. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I would appreciate any help your suggestions you can give.
